Fresh revelations from the latest tranche of documents released by the US Department of Justice have exposed an alleged attempt by disgraced royal Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to arrange a meeting between notorious sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein and the late Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi.
Emails Reveal Shocking Correspondence
The newly uncovered email correspondence, obtained by Channel 4 News, suggests that in 2010, while serving as a UK trade envoy, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor attempted to facilitate connections between Epstein and Gaddafi. The emails indicate Epstein expressed interest in meeting Gaddafi after being told the dictator was seeking financial advice.
Aliases and Coded Language
The correspondence reveals the use of multiple aliases throughout the email chain. Prince Andrew is repeatedly referred to as "PA" in the messages, while Gaddafi is cryptically called "the father" and "the leader" by Epstein and his associates.
In one particularly damning email dated October 7, 2010, Epstein reaches out to Andrew's associate David Stern, stating: "i want to go to tripoli lets organize with pa." Stern subsequently responds that he had spoken to PA, who suggested a trip to Tripoli "can be organised."
Andrew's Direct Involvement
The emails show Andrew eventually contacted Epstein directly, telling the convicted sex offender that Libya had been "fixed" and instructing him to "call me whenever." This direct communication occurred despite Andrew's official position as a UK trade envoy at the time.
Epstein's apparent motivation for the meeting becomes clear in another email where he writes: "people that have seen the father, have asked me if i want to meet him as he does not know where to put his money." The sex trafficker then suggests that "Pa should make the intro instead."
Historical Context and Timing
The alleged meeting would have occurred at a particularly sensitive time in Libyan history. The proposed Tripoli visit was scheduled for just one year before Gaddafi was captured and killed by rebel fighters during the Arab Spring uprising in 2011.
Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor had previously met both Gaddafi and his son, the recently assassinated Saif al-Islam Gaddafi, during official visits to Libya in his capacity as UK trade envoy. This existing relationship appears to have been leveraged in the attempt to arrange the Epstein meeting.
Final Attempts and Ultimate Failure
In a final email dated November 7, 2010, Epstein responds to Andrew's communication, stating he would "gladly go to Tripoli" for the proposed meeting. Epstein writes: "I was just following up on your suggestion that i should meet the leader as he is in need of advice. [...] I will gladly go to tripoli, as i think it would be interesting, but only if it is easy to organize and the meeting will definitely take place."
However, additional documents within the Department of Justice release suggest the controversial meeting between the convicted sex trafficker and the Libyan dictator never actually took place. The reasons for this failure remain unclear from the available correspondence.
Broader Implications
These latest revelations add another layer of controversy to Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor's already tarnished reputation. The emails suggest he was willing to use his official position to facilitate connections between a convicted sex offender and an internationally condemned dictator.
The Daily Mirror has reportedly contacted representatives for Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor seeking comment on these allegations, but no response has been made public at this time. These documents form part of the ongoing release of Epstein-related materials by US authorities, continuing to shed light on the extensive network of the disgraced financier.
